Key Highlights
It must be noted that Burnley are ranked 19th in goals scored per match (1 goal), which means that they have not been at their best in front of goal. Burnley have won the previous 2 matches against Luton Town, and this will give them a lot of confidence in this game. However, what will worry them a lot is that they haven't scored in the last 2 home matches.

Prediction
We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. One must not forget that Luton Town are ranked 16th in goals scored per match (1.2 goals). Elijah Adebayo has the most shots on target per match for Luton Town (0.8) and Alfie Doughty has created the most big chances for Luton Town (5). However, it will take a lot of effort on the part of the visitors to compete against Burnley in this game.
